This morning i grabbed a quick shower while the kids played. During that time i got asked… “Mummy, if i do a poo, can you wipe my bottom?” (No, I’m in the shower.) “Mummy, can we start fractions now?” (No, I’m in the shower.) “Mummy…. you said you’d make me purple juice!” ( I’m in […]

I do think this photo just BEGS for a caption, don’t you?

Okay. New life model. *Do not procrastinate first thing; get parcels done before kids finish breakfast (having got them organised the night before) and don’t drag it out half the morning or worse. *Group maths.
